Default ?Is this a good deal?

Dealer on Craigslist is selling a '00 S2K with about 100K miles on it. Car is pretty nicely setup with a Greddy turbo kit (SR/60 I believe), JDM intercooler, AEM management system, Tein springs, camber kit, and a few other misc. items.

Guy is asking right at $10K which I think is a fair price for a clean title S2k at 100K miles....but what do you guys and gals think?

I would be very interested in a repaint of the car within the first year of having it....I think any 10 year old paintjob is giong to need a refresher, and I would be adding a hard-top and wider front fenders at the same time...but these are just fyi's...they will probably happen no matter what year S2k I buy

Its just me but I would be pretty uneasy about buying a turbo'd car with 100k on the clock from a dealer. You have no clue who the past owner was or how they treated it, so you have to assume it was put through its paces quite a bit

nevermind guys....I went and saw the car and it definately needed a bit of TLC....pics the dealer had posted were definately a couple of years old

engine bay was in the worst shape of any car I've seen during my search (and there have been quite a few)....airbags had deployed at some point, and it was throwing a code....and the rear driver break looked like it was siezing up....not willing to do that much work to get the car into shape...looked like someone definately had beaten on it

The turbo was a give-a-way that someone had beaten on it. You don't turbo a s2k and not 'beat on it'.

Good job walking on that one, but keep up hope, there are more out there.

negotiate the price down to like $8k, sell the aftermarket crap, and you'll have yourself an s2k for like $6k!
